To all whom it may concern.

I Be it known thatI, TRAUGOTT KERNCHEN, a subject of the German Emperor, and a resident of No. 3 Altstadter Markt, Rendsburg, German have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Chimney-Tops, of which the following is aspecification.

.7 The present invention relates to a chiinof which is adapted to fix on the chimney over which it is to be employed, is of cylintop, and is provided with a flange or foot plate I) at its bottom. The upper end of the said pipe is provided with several V-shaped slits or-openings c, and each opening is covered with a cap d tapering inward toward the top and rising above the level of the pipe. A case 6 of conical shape is put over the said caps whereby channels are formed between the caps in addition to those under them in such a manner, that the efiiciency of the chimnev is-considerably increased, which is over the case e at a suitable distance from its mouth, prevents rain, the rays of sun etc. going through.

The el'liciency of this chimney-top depends on the arrangement of the covered channels, because the air entering by these produces a sucking influence in the mouth of the pipe a. The tendency to cause a downdraft in the I flue isavoided, and, owing to the said chinil ney-top not having any movable parts, it is secure from injuries through sudden and violent squalls of wind and the like.

I claim,

In a chimney-top, the combination; an eduction-pipe at having a foobplate at its bottom adapted to fix on the chimney and having V-shaped openings 0 provided at the top end of the said pipe, caps d covering each of the said openings and protruding above the level of the pipe, a conical case 6 adapted to be placed over the said caps for holding thein'together and forming channels between the caps in addition to those which are under the caps through which aircan enter in the direction of the head cover j whereby the gases of a stove are withdrawn, and the head cover j attached to the casee by means of a hinge, all as described and shown.
